Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy’s re-election campaign yesterday announced its final City Council candidate for the May 14 election, a Randolph Avenue cafe owner who will run in Ward F.

Jermaine Robinson, owner of the Light Rail Cafe, said he’s running to “give back to my community.”

“While some local leaders might care more about Wall Street, I understand firsthand the struggles of my fellow small-business owners and will always have their back,” Robinson said in a statement from the Healy campaign, taking a not-so-veiled shot at Healy rival Ward E Councilman Steve Fulop, a former Wall Street trader.

“Jermaine Robinson has dedicated his life to giving back to his community and making life better for his neighbors,” the mayor said. “Jermaine and I will work together to keep the progress going in Ward F and throughout this city we both love.”

Healy, seeking his third full term, will face Fulop and former high school and college basketball star Jerry Walker in the May 14 mayor’s race. All nine council seats are also up for grabs.

“While I haven’t seen this gentleman anywhere in the Ward F community or even heard of him in my 13 years of service, I know Steven Fulop, a former Marine, is fighting for my neighborhood every day,” said Fulop’s Ward F candidate, Councilwoman Diane Coleman, in a statement.
